Many miracles happened and I feel good about our
efforts. One day we went to the home of a member who we did not know well. We
thought they would not be home because parents usually work during the day, but
we decided to try. When we arrived, almost the whole family was at home. We
shared a lesson and encouraged them to read the entire Book of Mormon this
year. One of the children cried a little during the lesson and had a great
desire to read the Book of Mormon.
We spoke with the mother afterwards and she told
us that this child has been very ill and depressed recently. Today he was the
most cheerful she had seen him for a while, and she was very grateful that we
had visited. We felt very good that we followed the impression to go to their
home that day. God controls his work!
This week we taught our investigator, Hector,
almost every day. He has visited many other religions and has studied the Bible
a lot. He understands all that we teach him so quickly; the more we teach him,
the more he desires to learn.
On Sunday our super bueno investigator, Hector,
came to church. He also came to a FHE with us that night, with Hermano
Feliciano (my convert) and his wife. Hermano Feliciano bore his testimony about
why it’s important to be baptized and resolved some doubts that Hector had. He
talked about how special his baptism was, and that he will always remember
Hermana Dietz and I because we were the ones who helped him get baptized. It
made me so happy! I thought of the scripture D&C 18:15- “And if it so be
that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and
bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the
kingdom of my Father!” I really felt that joy yesterday. :)
